Approving the planning task of 1/500 scale of Can Gio coastal urban tourism area

According to the decision, Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee assigned Can Gio Urban Tourism Joint Stock Company to organize the preparation, submission for appraisal and approval of the detailed planning project at a scale of 1/500 within the prescribed time limit.

During the planning process, Can Gio Urban Tourism Joint Stock Company and consulting units need to receive opinions from the Central, local and relevant community to have the most optimal and feasible planning solution.

Units need to research and propose the application of advanced and optimal technological solutions in the design and construction of coastal protection works against erosion and sustainable shoreline accretion, contributing to creating environmental landscapes and adapting to climate change.

Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee also noted that the layout of functional zones should have symbolic meaning of the river landscape typical of Can Gio mangrove ecosystem. Relevant units need to study housing models associated with river space and coastal ecology.

The locations and distances of bus stations must be reasonable, close to public works areas and parking lots.

In addition, there must be space and shelter areas to respond to natural disasters, especially marine disasters...
